Course Description:
Researchers in a variety of fields collect measurements, observe data,
perform simulations and use a wide range of techniques to describe,
classify, analyze and draw conclusions from these data. Selecting
appropriate techniques and understanding their advantages and
disadvantages is an important component of data analysis. In
particular, in this age of big data, large data sets provide distinct
challenges given that many of the general techniques for small data
sets do not scale to larger problems and are often prohibitively
expensive from a computational perspective.
In this class, we will survey several data decomposition techniques
for computational data-enabled science and engineering applications.

this list go to all the students. Only registered users can email to
the list.

teach-cs6962 [at] list.eng.utah.edu: instructor list. Emails sent to this list go to all the instructors.

When class material questions are sent to the
instructor email list, we will isolate the question and post the
response to the class list (so that all can learn from both the
question and answer).

Disability Notice

The University of Utah seeks to provide equal access to its
programs, services and activities for people with disabilities.
